xdrawchem - open-source chemical structures editor similar to ChemDraw

xdrawchem [INPUT-FILE] [OPTION(S)...] [OUTPUT-FILE]

xdrawchem is a program that attempts to duplicate the functionality of ChemDraw, a molecule structure drawing application. It operates in much the same fashion, and should be highly familiar to users of ChemDraw.

The currently packaged version is a fork of the original package; it is maintained by Yaman Qalieh <https://gitlab.com/yamanq>, see the copyright file.

xdrawchem has file compatibility with Chemdraw and MDL files. It can also create images in popular formats like PNG and EPS.

xdrawchem accepts the following options:

-png OUTPUT-FILE

Create a PNG image of an input file and exit.

-t -png OUTPUT-FILE

Create a transparent PNG image of an input file and exit.

-3d OUTPUT-FILE

Create a Make 3D model of input file and output a MDL mofile.

-h, --help

Show summary of options.

-v, --version
